Brazilian composer and arranger Moacir Santos died in Pasadena, Calif., on Aug. 6. He was 80.
Santos began arranging on Brazilian radio in the 1950s and wrote the soundtrack to the popular film Amor No Pacifico (Love In The Pacific). He moved to the United States in 1967 and four recorded solo albums as well as various Hollywood sountracks. His career had been enjoying a revival since the U.S. release of Ouro Negro in 2004 and Choros & Alegria the following year, both of which are available on Adventure Music.
Santos recently won the Shell Music and Premio Tim Awards.
